Short CV

Sankaranarayanan Subramanian studied  Bachelor of Technology in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at NIT Calicut from the year 2002 to 2006 in India. Then he finished M.Sc. in Automation and Robotics at TU Dortmund, 2012.  He has a work experience of 4 years in the Automation Industry. Since April 2013, he worked as a research associate in the Process Dynamics and Operations Group at the TU Dortmund. His research mainly focuses on Output Feedback Robust NMPC, its applicability and its stability properties. His other interests include nonlinear dynamics and chaos. On October 27, 2020, he finished the procedures of his doctoral degree with the oral examination at TU Dortmund, and obtained the Dr.-Ing. degree for his dissertation, entitled "Tube-enhanced Multi-stage Model Predictive Control: Robust State and Output Feedback Control", supervised by Prof. Sebastian Engell. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the DYN group.
